Sarcasm and Sensibilities.

  Ladies, please listen.  There was a time of glory.  It has not been so long ago that we can not return to it,  In fact, I believe we are on our way.  In that glorious time everyone knew his or her place and if they weren't satisfied, at least they were for the most part complacent.  Or at least unheard from.
   Why should the poor be educated?  Not every mind is made for such. Will we not always need workers who will work tirelessly, without regard to time and pay, feeling fortunate just to have some pennies with which to perhaps buy some bread?  Haven't we fields to be plowed and walls to be built? And let's face it, we needn't worry at all about birth control, since their conditions, being so poor, will quite naturally weed out the weaker of them - the more useless ones. This is the natural law.
   And if we happen to be born to a higher class of people, so be it.  We have a noblesse oblige to employ those better suited to caring for us in the mundane - cooking, cleaning, helping us dress, growing our food, etc.  We, have an obligation to maintain the social order.  Ladies should become skilled in the finer things.  We must read only the appropriate literature, lest our minds become conflicted. We should learn the finer arts, such as needlework, music, painting, flower arranging, dance, and entertainment.  These are the skills that lubricate the social order so that our men may be free to manage the legacies to which they were born.
  Oh, it's well and fine to say that all people are created equal, but the truth is quite different.  Some people are made for field work, their darker skin showing less the dirt.  Others' hands are made to raise animals,  and a few hands - so pale and dainty - must be protected in order to maintain the beauty that is so important in our social order.
   Health care really must be rationed.  There are so many of the lower classes this it makes no sense to squander precious time and medicines on them.  They would hardy appreciate it.  In fact, you can't imagine that a poor household welcomes a 6th, 7th, or 9th mouth to feed! The upper classes, however, are prone to some delicate natures that modern medicine can and must attend.
   We are right to maintain the social order as God intended, lest the whole of society be turned upside down and we are overrun like the jungles from whence the inferiors originated.  It is, indeed, our holy duty.
   So ladies, I implore you not to meet in groups to gossip and exchange ideas contrary to your fathers and husbands.  Do not be too lenient on your inferiors lest they become haughty.  Be always weary of strangers and foreigners, for they seek to dilute our righteous ways.  Remember that God made the whole of the earth for us to consume and we should do so with joy.
  A woman's mind must not be consumed with manly quests.  She must remain free from vulgarity and maintain peace and order in her home by managing her servants well.  By this, the Righteous Christian Womanhood, will continue to do our part in maintaining what is just and right in our world
